Georgia Northwestern Technical College (GNTC) is inviting the community to brighten their fall landscapes while supporting student learning through its annual Fall Mum Sale. The Horticulture program will host the sale from Monday, September 15, through Thursday, September 18, outside Building L, located across from GNTC’s Floyd County Campus in Rome.

The sale will run daily from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., or until supplies last. A wide variety of vibrant chrysanthemums, housed in 8-inch pots, will be available for $7 each. Customers can choose from classic fall colors including bronze, orange, red, white, and yellow.

According to Nick Barton, director of GNTC’s Horticulture program, the timing is perfect for peak bloom. “The mums are just starting to bloom, so most of the plants should be in full bloom when the sale begins,” Barton stated, assuring buyers of fresh, vibrant plants.

Beyond offering beautiful fall decor, the mum sale serves a dual purpose. “The sale is a way for GNTC to contribute to the community that also gives Horticulture students real-world experience,” Barton explained. All proceeds from the plant sale will directly benefit the Horticulture program at GNTC, supporting future student learning opportunities and resources.

The plants will be located in a fenced area outside of Building L. Should no one be present outside with the mums, buyers are encouraged to stop by Building L for assistance. Purchases may be made with cash or check only; credit cards will not be accepted.
